Raag Khamaj 1920-2012 sitaristRavi Shankar * ruler of
tenth Dazamamsha is atmakaraka lagnesha Budha
and Rahu occupies dashamamsha-10. Pandit Shankar enjoyed a long
career in musical performance presenting
classical Bharati music to a mainly foreign
audience (Rahu-Mithunaya-10 exotic information).
His profession involved constant touring
(Mithunaya) and mixing (Rahu mixer) with other
"presenters" and "interpreters (Mithunaya) from
many walks of life (Rahu diversity).

If confirmation of radix/navamsha strength does
not occur in Dazamamsha, reduce any career expectations derived from D-1 and D-9.

Gracious and abundant planets in
Dazamamsha indicate successful spiritual education in cycles of birth and death.

If you have achieved the absolute humility necessary to channel the enormous dignity of divine power, so you will be dignified by a powerful social position.

Conflicted planets in dazamamza-10 indicate past-life/subconscious ego-attachment and resistance to acknowledge divine greatness, which will manifest in this life in inadequate social recognition and respect

the good news is, as always: if unconsciously-continued patterns arise into consciousness, karma is transformed into wisdom and negative implications of the astrological charts may be reversed.

"The 10th house from lagna in D-10 shows one's true conduct in society.

It shows the one's career and the true nature of one's karma (work).

The 10th house from AL [arudha lagna ] in D-10 shows perceptions about one's conduct in society. It deals more with one's status in career."

Read varga charts 'interactively', in the context of the basis radix chart.

If karmesha-10 = uttama in D-1 but nichha in dazamamza-10 , however gifted one may be, often there is a struggle to balance contradictory public appraisals. The career may vacillate between public estimates of 'success' and 'failure', or the public image may alternate between 'visible' and 'invisible'.

By contrast, if karmesha-10 radix is strong in both D-1 and D-10, while the lord of the 10th dazamamza-10 is also auspicious, this is a sure sign of a vibrant and successful career.

D-10 must be consulted when predicting results for career, executive or leadership roles in the society, promotions and recognition in the status hierarchy, or matters of public opinion.

Public face and Dignity

D-10 and the socially lawful duty roster

Not everyone has a 'career' with title, but everyone has a public image, social reputation , and level of dignity within one's immediate society.

Everyone carries some burden of public responsibility, everyone has some duty roster, and society expects these duties to be conducted lawfully within some scheme of morality and social norms.

The public 'face' = public profile = what most people know about one's lawful conduct in matters of personal history, relationships, parents, employment, property management, and all of the other socially regulated publically accountable behaviors.

Significance of graha in D-10
divisional sections

Although the first instruction = to locate the ruler of 10th dazamamza-10 and find the ruler of the lagna of the dazamamza-10 the radix, and to assess their power in radix, as a second step, the dazamamza-10 can be read like a normal chart.
Naturally, no predictions can be based solely upon placements in any varga.
However, varga placements can confirm or disconfirm the likelihood of
outcomes that may be predicted from the D-1.

As in other varga, Rahu-Ketu amplify and sensitize any graha they contact, and any lagna they occupy.

Any D-10 domain which contains one or more graha is likely to
gain importance in the native 's public life. Look for concentrations of graha within each of the six lagna.

Examples:

E.g., significant graha in the D-10's
4-10 axis may signify public recognition (10) for conduct in the parent
(4) and educator (4) roles. Whether the acknowledgement is positive or negative, depends on the nature of the graha.

Exempli gratia, significant graha which may occupy the D-10's
6-12 axis = public recognition for conduct in the conflict-policing and sanctuary roles. When bhava-6 is strong in D-10 the native should be professionally involved with conflict, either creating or managing it.

Also strong graha in bhava-4 of the D-10 suggest that the public may give special attention to facts regarding the native 's childhood home or upbringing.

If the graha is Rahu, read 'unusual, unstable, or foreign' elements in the upbringing.

If the graha is uttama-Guru, read wealth and privilege, or a magnificent education. .

Graha in kendra of D-10 and D-1:

Significant graha in any kendra of D-10 gives the native an unusually strong public presence.

As in the D-1, the more graha in kendra, the more the native is well-known.

Typically the nativity with graha in all four kendra of D-10, D-9, and/or D-1 is nationally or internationally known.

No graha in D-10 or D-1 kendra suggest that the native is not known outside of their own neighborhood or village.

karmesha-10 radix, D-10 lagnesha

For determining career, by far the most important Graha in D-10 are:

The graha which is the lord of radix bhava-10, and

The graha which is the lord of dazamamza-10 lagna

The graha which is the lord of bhava-10 in dazamamza-10

Shani -for position in large hierarchies

Budha -for public communication skills

First, check the role of the Graha enumerated below. Interactively,check D-1, D-10, and sometimes D-9.

These career significators become temporarily much stronger (for good or for ill) when they are reigning as Vimshottarimahadasha pati or bhukti pat.
